Alveolar Ridge Preservation Using Grafting Material in Molar Region

Abstract

It should be considered how to maintain the soft and hard tissues during tooth extraction in order to improve post-restoration. Thus, Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) has been proposed. Grafting materials have been being used to preserve the alveolar ridge in molar area. Based on the special structure of molar area, the effect of ARP using grafting materials in molar area and the related-influence factors will be discussed in this review.
